Description: your entry into mass production of thermoplastic composites: technology-related information, established suppliers & development partners
Thermoplastic composites are becoming increasingly popular in highly cost-driven markets. Thermoplastic composites consist of a thermoplastic matrix combined with various reinforcing materials such as short, long or continuous glass or carbon fibers. Processes for the production of thermoplastic composites include injection molding, compression molding, tape placement, winding and thermoforming.
Benefits of thermoplastic composites are:
Due to the usage of continuous fiber-reinforced inlays, mechanical properties can be increased significantly in comparison with purely thermoplastic compounds. The ductility of the thermoplastic resin leads to high impact resistance and damage tolerance. Hybrid thermoplastic composite parts enable high functional integration and thus a high potential for cost efficient production. The functional integration can be achieved by injection or compression molding of short fiber reinforced compounds or welding.
